Strokes of brilliance. Sir, you have correctly identified that starcraft is a game of decision making. The impressive bit was the bit where I decided to use those units in that way, the pressing of the buttons was actually pretty simple. Your all-in would be more impressive if it didn't account for 80% of your games.
That's a very strange assertion from someone who has no clue how I play. Why not ask someone like Oystein or Eri with whom I've played extended series about how often I allin rather than just pulling numbers out of your ass? I very rarely won outright with my midgame plays, it was more about the momentum and transitions I followed the aggressive midgame stuff that got me the wins in the late game, particularly in PvZ and PvT. PvP I was never really very good at so I used to just passively stick on two bases and storm drop until they left.

Was never much wrong with my late game PvZ, particularly on two player maps where you could lock down base sites. Cannon spam, robotics pumping reavers at crucial expansions and a high gateway count made it relatively simple. PvT late game is more challenging because it pretty much works the opposite way with the Terran locking down key locations with 3-3 tanks and mines and you having to be more mobile than them. PvP a single victory in a maxed engagement will generally decide the game and I got outmicroed by people in B+ pretty consistently.

Ooh drama.
In a real life fight between all the mods, who would win?

Outside of TL, what do you guys do for a living, out of curiosity? How much did it align with your major or what plans you had before/during/after college? Boring question, I know, but I'm curious =P

Project Engineer for an oil and gas company.
I was a mechanical engineer and I had no idea wtf I was going to do. I spent some time applying for gaming companies, tried to become a roller coaster designer, and then ended up here. It was a complete crapshoot and I could have ended up anywhere just depending on luck.

Confirming Kwark's life coach, I keep him from making bad decisions. He then ignores me and bulldogs on longinus.

Unlikely that it'll be soon as I'm leaving the country for a bit tomorrow but if Chill is willing then maybe in a month or so?

I finished up my electrical engineering/political science undergrad, built racecars (FSAE) did building engineering (MEP/T24 work), and went to graduate school for mechanical engineering,
No idea what my plans are now....
